The last Champion breakkie is here! And this is a morning time saver. Because you’ll have to make it in the evening, leave it in the fridge, then only add your toppings in the morning and either enjoy it straight away – or take it with you to work, to the gym, park, wherever you’re going.

I love chia seeds as they are not only high in omega 3 essential fatty acids, but also great sources of protein. So perfect for blood sugar balancing, easy to make and you can dress them with literally anything – they will be great. My sweet tricks are my usual berries, organic ground cinnamon and vanilla powder. At the moment those two are added to all my breakfasts, my coffees and matcha lattes as well 😉

Breakfast for champions 10.

Overnight chia bowl

Ingredients:

3-4 tbsp of chia seeds

150ml of organic unsweetened almond/hazelnut/coconut milk

Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder (optional)

handful of almonds/walnuts to dress

blueberries to dress

cinnamon and vanilla powder to dress

Method:

Add the chia seed and almond milk in your favourite bowl and mix well, until all the little seeds are covered with the milk and it starts to become a little bit jelly like. You can even add a little bit of cinnamon then and cover the bowl and leave in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add your favourite nuts/seeds/paleo granola/ and berries and enjoy!

It’s that simple. If you forgot to leave it in the fridge but still fancy this for breakfast, stir in the chia seeds well, and leave it while you take a shower. It does get to the right consistency and soaks up all the almond milk in about 15 minutes.

Let’s start Thursday morning with a healthy kick – another green smoothie for you all. This one is perfect especially if you’re having it after your exercise, in which case I would also recommend you to add a scoop of vegetarian protein powder to it (Pulsin, Sun Warrior, Purple Balance – just to mention a few options).

Keep warm and enjoy the blending 😀

Breakfast for champions 9.

Blend the almond milk and spinach first – then add all other ingredients and blend again until smooth. Dress with blueberries (or any of your favourite berries) and sprinkle over some cinnamon.

Hope your week is going well – and that you’re enjoying the healthy smoothies and the ‘not so boring’ porridge recipes 😉

Today I’m sharing with you my longing to summer and the strawberry season. You don’t have to spend a fortune on organic fruit though, you can buy them frozen for much cheaper and possibly packed with more vitamins as well as they don’t necessarily have to travel the world to get on your plate. Try online or I know that Planet Organic, As Nature Intended or Whole Foods definitely store them.

Breakfast for champions 8.

Put all ingredients (except the coconut flakes and extra raspberries) and blend until smooth. Dress and enjoy! Have an amazing day! Hopefully the sun will shine on you today, but even if it isn’t, this bowl of healthy goodness will defo make you shine brighter 😉

Here’s my 6th champion breakfast to help you with just that 😉

Breakfast for champions 6.

Four Grain (Gluten-free) Porridge with Grated Apples

Ingredients:

1 tsp of raw organic coconut oil

40-50g four grain porridge mix (I chose Amisa gluten-free)

100 ml organic unsweetened almond/coconut/hazelnut milk

50ml water

1 apple grated

1 tsp cinnamon

coconut yoghurt to dress

bluberries

walnuts

Method:

Cook the four grain mix in some coconut oil for the first few minutes, then add the apples and the nut milk. Cook for a few more minutes and then add the grated apples. Add the water if the porridge soaked up all the nut milk. Cook for a few minutes, until both the grains and apple feel cooked.

When done, serve in a bowl and dress with coconut yoghurt, walnuts (or any nuts) and blueberries. You can add extra cinnamon if you need more sweetness. Enjoy x

Teff has been my latest obsession lately, I just can’t get bored of the yummy nutty flavour, so easy to cook it, and it’s also gluten free. Hope you’ll enjoy it too, happy experimenting!

Breakfast for champions 4.

Teff porridge with apple and blueberry sauce

100ml organic unsweetened almond/hazelnut/coconut milk

50 ml water

2-3 tbsp organic apple and blueberry puree

almond flakes to dress

optional – coconut yoghurt to dress

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the teff flakes for a few minutes – add the cinnamon and stir for another minute. Once all mixed, add the almond milk and cook it on a lower temperature for a few minutes, then add the apple and blueberry puree and mix well. If it needs to be more liquid, add the water and cook all the ingredients for a few more minutes.

Serve it in a bowl, add flaked almonds and if you like coconut yoghurt and/or bee pollen to dress.
